Homegrown Recap: March 1, 2022 - You're Feeling Verrrrrrry Sleeeeeeeepy

Interact w/Homegrown: What’s the #1 thing that would make you happier at your job?
- You might WISH you’d changed jobs during the pandemic after this stat: 29% of people who have say they’re now making at least 30% MORE than they were before. And another 20% are making 10 to 20% more.Not everyone wants more money though. Or, at least it’s not the TOP thing they want from corporate. People were asked to name the #1 thing that could keep them in their current job longer. And your answer might depend on how old you are.The #1 answer for Millennials was more money. But Gen Xers would rather have a new role and more responsibility. And Baby Boomers just want a little more recognition for all the work they do.

Colin Mochrie from Who’s Line Is It Anyway has teamed up with Master hypnotist Asad Mecci for HYPROV. They’ll be performing at the Numerica PAC this Thursday. Nikki Darling got a chance to catch up with them prior to the show for the What’s Up Wenatchee? podcast.

Brent + Nikki are telling dirty jokes all this week. If you call in for the punchline you’re entered to win tickets to the PAC’s Cold Winter Night’s Series show with Kyle Kinane.
